>>24996709I'm starting to get big fat boners.
Blumpf is making sure America is perceived as a rogue state on the world stage with his blatantly terroristic tactics.Now the US is likely to be diplomatically isolated and sanctioned for kidnapping the head of state of a sovereign country.
>>24996778I'm glad he's actually doing stuff.

>>24996783I don't look like that and you know it.,. Peopel say I look like Cailey Fleming.
>>24996778I kind of wonder if he's doing it on purpose. Like this is the only way he can make things fall apart without getting himself killed. They started this term off with nicking his ear off after all. >>24996783Anon. Why can't Xi nab the president of Taiwan now? What's stopping Putin from grabbing Zelinsky? Yeah, I know the joke you're coming up with already. Save it. This era is shadowed by the 9/11 psyops. That's the US hitting itself so they can go out and topple a bunch of nations. This was all done slyly. We're all supposed to pretend we were attacked by ... Afghanistan? Iraq? Libya? Syria? Ethiopia? Iran? No. We were attacked by Al-Qaeda, a group funded into existence by the US and one of our agents named Bin Laden played the part of villain. All a deception. Now we have this Venezuelan deception. Fishermen were murdered and clearly not on their way to the US. Now Maduro is arrested on weapons possession charges by NYC. This is a terrible lie. It's absurd. Is any of this new to you?
>>24996810Trump did a poopoo peepee in his pants.
>>24996709Your picture makes me think of this piece by Brian Eno>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCCJc_V8_MQI always get teary-eyed listening to that song.I imagine myself sitting on a bench in a port town, raising my head to look at the sun rising after having spent the entire night /nightwalking/.It fills me with indescribable hope.
Non-being is not, because it doesn't merely exist. Non-being transcends existence, and being merely exists.
>>24996810>Why can't Xi nab the president of Taiwan now?It gives powerful rivals like US an excuse to exert more influence over Taiwan and the Pacific. Grabbing the commie would give rivals similar opportunities but China and Russia are weak in SA unlike the US in the Pacific. There are no real rivals and the US should shore up their backyard before they fall so far behind China in manufacturing that they can't grab commies anymore.
>>24996810>Why can't Xi nab the president of Taiwan now? What's stopping Putin from grabbing Zelinsky?They are literally unable to.
>>249967781) I disagree with you2) Dumb take imo, as dumb as people asking if we "declared war" on Venezuela, as if a surgical operation needs Congress to sign off on it, which by the way, you should be grateful that almost no one got hurt in that. That little stint is actually incredibly impressive and hard to pull off and the US Armed Forces made it look easy compared to Ukraine's, Russia's, Iran's, and China's flailing around that they call "military operations".3) Nations doing Special Operations on each other isn't terrorism, please don't conflate terrorism with this. Sure you might not like it, sure it might make people in Venezuela or here fearful, but it isn't terrorism.
Putin is working from a position of weakness. The "special operation" was responding relatively mildly to decades of aggression with a line in the sand. To cross the line himself is to undermine his own narrative and give more power to his opposing factions who tend to rely on popular opinion for power.If Russia was actually the hegemon in the area like the EU seems to be trying to make him through pure incompetence then he could grab Zelensky at will.Nothing in reality has anything to do with "le rules based order", it's a fantasy. Every time in history someone has appealed to that meme to justify actions he's been demonstrably lying.
>>24996926Russia did try to assassinate Zelensky multiple times.
>>24996945Yeah and they fucking failed. They've been bogged down in Ukraine for 4 years now. You're asking what stops them from pulling a Venezuela like they've had the option to the whole time but haven't done so for some reason.
>>24996945According to Zelensky. If they did it early it might have helped them but not anymore.
>>24996938Russia's idea of "special operations" is to take a hammer to the problem, what the US did was a surgical strike, an actual surgical strike. Something that almost everyone else, expect for Israel and in more minor ways the UK and EU can pull off.We literally just witnessed military operational history, that was probably the cleanest modern special operation ever done.
I feel like I'm living in Inland Empire (2006)... it's horrible. I might make it, but at what cost?
>>24996952>You're asking what stops them from pulling a Venezuela like they've had the option to the whole time but haven't done so for some reason.see >>24996955They simply can't do it, they don't have the sophistication, they don't have the military organization to do combine arms operations like that well and/or precisely and its partly because how differently they organize their military. There's a reason why they can't do anything better than Cold War tactics.
Sometimes I think of all those gamers, those hobbyists, those collectioners, who keep playing zelda, and pokemon, and skyrim, over and over, or the new RPG on steam, and look at their posture and lack of ambition and their fat silhouette, and their troubles and their mellowness, and their weakness and It's not even disgust that arises anymore. I deeply empathize with all their striving for adventure, I feel like they've been robbed of something, something of a world that promotes challenges, adventure, self-growth, never a society, always a world, a world to explore, to interact with, never a society to be part of, always struggles and growth, discovery, creativity, positive suffering, positively screaming...mood :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og06WDuzMOs>>>/wsg/6066278https://youtu.be/79MQDrNFkpw
>>24996961It's been a really, really, really long time since I've thought about Cobra...
Sex is the most depressing, the most tragic thing in the world to me. It's exactly this preoccupation with the sexual instinct, with mating, that symbolizes the real giving-up of mankind of the attainment of something greater. Sex is placed very low indeed on the pedestal of every great culture, every great religion. The high point of medieval chivalry indeed was this transmutation of the sexual drive, to become an abstract yearning which may be further resolved into a drive for the holy, for the ideal, for the arts, for achievement, for greater, for said sublimation is indeed the only thing, the one and only thing mind you, which separates mankind from his animal inferiors, let us no forget. It is just that, it's a great selling, of everything...
God I hate americans.
>>24996979We don't think about you at all.
>>24996978Ah, the oscillation of the damned.
>>24996986Good for me. Ignore your enemy.
>>24996979We actually don't, I don't even know where your countries are half the time and I just say you're in America to make you guys seethe more.
>>24996979The only good American is Donald Trump.
>>24996979It's so weird going to Europe as an American and realizing that multiple nations have these weird seethe sessions on the News about what America, what we're doing, what we're saying, trends or other things they don't like. Their news cycle only seems to only ever talk about America and complaining about it most of the time. This is so embedded into European culture to the point where when you talk to people, they will seethe at you because you are American. Not to you specifically, but your government. You just shrug, pity them, and then go on with your day.Flash forward you arrive home in America and 90% of all American news is about America, maybe some news about Canada, Mexico, Israel, China, or the Middle East; but outside of that you don't hear anything unless something is happening.Europeans accuse Americans of constantly thinking about black dicks all the time without realizing that their whole modern culture weirdly revolves around us, we are Europe's black dicks and its fucking weird.
>>24997000There has never been a good american. You left for the new world because you were undesirables nobody wanted around in europe.
>>24996978>The high point of medieval chivalry indeed was this transmutation of the sexual drive, to become an abstract yearning which may be further resolved into a drive for the holy, for the ideal, for the arts, for achievement, for greater,Is that actually how the people of that time were or is this a selective, idealized viewing of their symbolic, high art fantasies? I'm sure sex was as central to their being as any people.
>>24997015Other way around, we left the new world because we we were rich enough to escape but poor enough not to be able to affect change. We are your middle class and it shows by how prosperous and inventive we have been while you have only been declining.
>>24997012America is on the news because it is the biggest military, economic and cultural entity on the world, and what it does has repercutions.
>>24997016>I'm sure sex was as central to their being as any people.>doesn't know about the weird anti-sex cults that either all died out because they didn't reproduce or we exterminated by Islam or Christianity during the medieval ages.I mean sure, but there will always be the opposite hanging around, they just don't reproduce so they just go away for a bit only to re-emerge in another way.
>>24996978There's something of death in every little pleasure that isn't balanced by an act of creation, that every good soul must learn to repulse In eating after no effort, being congratulated for merely existing, in consuming games or art without appropriation, without understanding, in the comfort of habits who have forgotten their origin and have become ends in themselves, in loveless sex. I believe pleasures have their role to play in the aesthetic life of a man, and that they shouldn't be viewed negatively because they're merely "cravings being satisfied" as Schopenhauer liked to insist: if pleasures help men gather knowledge, be stronger, if they help bring a real presence to their weirdly abstract achievements of mind, then they will have fulfilled their purpose!
>>24997012The US spent a lot of money and effort on making sure nobody ever stops thinking about them.>builds multiple radio and TV stations to broadcast their propaganda and overwhelm any other perspectives>literal CIA agents infiltrate even the mildest opposition like local unions in some bumfuck town in Europe>lol y u thinking about my propaganda all them time?Absolute idiots.
>>24997019Weren't you the indentured the company took after the Poles noped out of the whole thing? Unless you're the french or Spanish parts
>>24997016The number of anti-sex cults and religions throughout history is immense, and in fact America was founded by one. Consider all the countless monks throughout history who remained chaste until death.
>>24997020>>24997025You would think that if Europe was better than America they would be able to overcome this hurdle but it seems you can't... Odd...
>>24997024Only good post on this board in months and nice art.
>>24997027okay but I don't think you can extrapolate that to an entire people and culture
>>24997026Average colonist to the new world was middle-class English. The French and Spaniards were already here when we inherited the land and I can't really talk about their history, nor does it really matter because they ended up just become the standard 50s American, despite their last names.
>>24997033You can. This anti-sexuality is the seed of that culture. That it failed to really blossom and transform the hearts of even more people is true, but it's also rewriting history to suggest that it had no effect, that it didn't mean anything or do anything.It's kind of like besmirching the highest achievements of the enlightenment because they didn't apply to the average commoner. Which, well, somehow a lot of people still do this.
>>24997027That's not an anti sex cult, that's devotional; the transcendence of the self to mark your divinity. Anon in his giant wank post isn't talking about that, that kind of selection is voluntary and in spite of temptation or for redemption from indulgence. He's just frustrated and being pretentious about it because there is no temptation, but rather the desire to be tempted. It's the opposite. A monk wouldn't lament the lack of sex, it's part of their ascension. Anon is depressed and lying to himself, then justifying it with pretension. It's quite funny.
>>24997030>betterAbsolute idiot.>the bumfuck village should just be the richest continent in the world or submit completely to some federal authority so they can stop thinking like me
>>24997043The hills are alive, with the sound of seething!
>>24997038There is no way you believe this.
>>24997047It's true.One thing that totally escapes moderners is just how radically different the past is. We're so staunchly materialist that we can only look back and assess the past based on material difference. So we look back on photos of Victorian England and think, Hmm, I guess I would feel so and so because there are more cobblestone streets and more horses, but otherwise I'd basically be me!That's completely wrong. If you were in Victorian England, the entire way you perceive the world would be different. There is no "You" compatible with Victorian England, because the "You" that would have existed in Victorian times would be unrecognizable to the "You" of now. Multiply that tenfold if we're talking about the middle ages and chivalric times.
>>24997043Believe me, no one in America wants to own the Middle East 2.0. Asia on the other hand....
I wish I could peer into other timelines. I need weird progress and unseemly futures. I want to see Rome in the modern era, an eternal Rome which defeated all adversaries and exists even now as a shining jewel of civilization. I want to see what the Aztecs would make of it. Growing for thousands of years unmolested by the outside world, jury-rigging their own barges and setting sail to lands unknown. Imagine Tlaloc's priests converting Africans and Spaniards to the faith. Skull pyramids on every continent, some madman with a dream clad in blubber coats and snowshoes reaching the far end of the Arctic just to plant a Polynesian flag. Show me plains cultures with all the advantages of time and none of the downsides. Native Americans finally dredging up stones and good metals, making their tipis into towers. Tribes growing more complex as the people multiply and the standard of living skyrockets. No more buffalo because we butchered them all, but now see the curiosity of technology when born from strange mothers. Computers in the Congo, Russians in a world where there are only Russians, the first Cossack to kill with a radioactive rifle. Biomechanical Brits and Olmecs with nuclear bombs. The starship Quetzalcoatl and its ten hundred humming fission reactors.I'd like to see that if only in a dream.
>>24997055You realize in "Victorian England" you could walk down the street, buy a discrete whore effortlessly, spew your carnal desires over her bustier, spit on her, and continue on with your day without effort? Not only that if you knocked her up you could vanish instantaneously into the ether and she'd either murder the child for you, send it to a workhouse for eternal damnation, or if she was particularly vivacious, be placed into an asylum with your bastard progeny until the rats in the walls eat her alive. After you buy heroin from the local druggist of course.You are a mawkish idiot. Humans are remarkably consistent and your valorization for a past that never existed is not only naive, but pitiful. People weren't different then, they weren't raised different, they spoke in different diction and lived with significantly less preoccupation by necessity, and therefore increased vulgarity by proxy.
>>24997035To be middle class you'd need a trade or profession and the guild wouldn't have let you sign up with a company
>>24997067Daily reminder syphilis and tb would get you
>>24997072If you needed a guild or a company to be indentured too you were either highly in debt or you were poor. It was possible to pay for passage over as well. There was more than 1 way to get there.
>>24997076While true, because of the filth and tainted drinking water, you still could absolutely have your jollies in any capacity. If you were private enough, you could do basically anything you wanted. Always could have throughout most of history. It's only relatively recently that private life collapsed.
>>24997080Before Australia a lot of early Americans were exiled to America for their crimes, but I have no idea how they determined that.
>>24997067They absolutely were different. However, the ways in which the past was different from now consist far less of material differences and far more in what we call "psychic differences", or how reality actually felt for the common man moment to moment. So if you try and approach the past from this "material-first" angle like everyone does now, immediately you're preventing yourself from ever actually understanding it.
>>24997080>I don't actually understand what the British company system wasYou need the company to be indentured and get you thereEverything that is not a sanctioned company is piracy >>24997085>filth and tainted drinking water,That's cholera
>>24997046>lol I broadcasted my idiocy to the entire planet for an entire century and now some guy in some remote village is calling me an idiotHuge success, well worth the hundred trillion dollars.
>>24997085>privacy>In the era where corridors didn't usually exist Anon houses have changed a lot since the 1600s, and it's much more recent that not sharing a bed became a thing (that's the hygiene push around the time of Florence Nightingale, by which point you already have literal trannies in the medical system she operated under)
>>24997093That's nice, still has nothing to do with your weird antisexual rant. Perhaps you should read what it was like from people who were alive back then. And keep in mind, the people writing about it are generally much more educated and polite than basically everyone else who existed at the time. Humanity is simple. The components of human existence are also simple. Your "material-first" nonsense has nothing to do with anything, and less to do with my post.
The real tragedy of every original thinker is that very early on in life they run out of people who can grapple with their ideas, and have to wait for future generations to correct their mistakes
Do you ever feel distraught that you're going to miss out on great works of art? Humans will still be here for centuries, millennia, maybe longer. And in all that time they will produce a great body of work that makes even this AI-fueled mass production slop era look like a famine. There will be plenty of trash no doubt, but so many masterpieces still remain unwritten, untold, camera shy, inanimate. Some are fetal (existing only in the creators mind) and countless others are waiting for life. In the year 2100 most of us will be dead and maybe the next Kubrick will be playing with his camera, tinkering with angles and lighting. There are films that would make you cry if only you were alive enough to see them. People talk big about Dostoyevsky and yes, being present in the here and now is a boon. But there could be a hundred novels ten times better and all lurking in the far future, that place you cannot go. People in a thousand years hence will misconstrue us as we have done to those before us, but wouldn't you like to see it? I would. I'm dis-traught
>>24997110That's a type of privacy. Going off inna woods whenever you felt like it for hours at a time for basically any reason you want is also a type of privacy as well.
>>24997116My emotions are deadened.
>>24996709I'm worried that what I write is absolute crap and isn't worth the effort of inputting onto the digital page i've opened in front of me.Every line is cringe, every half baked, monotone description of someones action, thought or word hurts to read. It's bullshit, everything I do is bullshit.But that's the process isn't it? that's the voice itching in the back of my mind telling me to do better instead of just accepting bullshit.I tell myself this and then I agonize over details instead of just putting words into place. I smooth out the kinks as if it's a final draft and then kick myself for not having the same level of detail and complexity in other chapters. round and round it goes with this dance of self induced misery.Is this what Hemingway meant by 'bleed'?
>>24997116No because we have Shakespeare, Beethoven, and Bergman. We're fine.
>>24997113It does connect very clearly to the topic at hand. Your claim is that human beings aren't malleable, my claim is that they are, and my proof is that life in the past was profoundly different for everyone involved, to a degree far more extreme than what the material evidence alone suggests. That this claim itself can't be proven is unfortunate, but you can rest assured it's true. I know it's true. When I was a child and read books from the Victorian era, I could viscerally feel how different life must have felt back then, I simply knew it was true. Human beings are malleable, which is why the sexual instinct is subverted in some people. This is a product of culture.
>>24997116Not distraught, but infinitely hopeful. Peaceful even. Not only are you right, it's inevitable. And the yet to be named is even more exciting in its potential than anything that could ever exist. It's hella rad, don't be sad that you'll miss it, be happy you know it will happen.
>>24997118That was illegal most places, to the point that there's a legal fiction of trespassing in woods that no longer exist to graduate you to a higher court without bail in the UK still
>>24996778>Now the US is likely to be diplomatically isolated and sanctionedThis won’t happen but if it did it would be a blessing. Manufacturing would be forcibly onshored, the domestic economy developed, etc.
>>24997127>Your claim is that human beings aren't malleable, my claim is that they are, and my proof is that life in the past was profoundly different for everyone involved, to a degree far more extreme than what the material evidence alone suggests. That this claim itself can't be proven is unfortunate, but you can rest assured it's true. I know it's true.No. Don't be stupid. That's your opinion to justify your weird antisexual masochism. My "claim" is that there are finite components to human existence and concentricity to their organization, by necessity. The context may change, but people don't. It's why Achilles is an archetype, why Gilgamesh is a badass, why Greek gods are personified, and why nobody likes a coward. It's also why everyone likes a revenge story, why some of the earliest graffiti is about insulting people or penises, and most importantly, why sex is an essential facet in human existence. To diminish it for delusions of culture or what have you is not only vulgar, but directly offensive to human sensibilities.
>>24997130Technically those courts are all the same court since the Victorian reforms, but yeah, trespassing in general will get you into court before or after those changes
>>24997099>the company never sold passage ticketsyawn
>>24997109I think you're just jealous that we waste 5 times your countries budget on bullshit lol
>>24997140They did. That entitles you to a boat ride, not their property (which is all of it)
>>24996810>Why can't Xi nab the president of Taiwan now? What's stopping Putin from grabbing Zelinsky?Why couldn't they before? What is the logic here? Do you suppose they wanted to do this before, but chose not to because they were worried America might kidnap Maduro in response?Precedent only matters when its a decision a state would take absent some other actor. You care about precedent when you don't want to deal with tit for tat retaliation. Anyway, they won't do it because they can't do it. Best they can go for is an assassination.
Monsters which rape men - very rare, actually. The kind not meant to titillate but to terrify I mean. Is this unusual? Is anal rape such a taboo? Clearly not, it's a mainstay of my country's humor. Don't drop the soap isn't just low hanging fruit, it's sprouted roots. The idea is sound. Beowulf's dragon is tyranny, the might of an army coalesced into one beast. Grendel is the other, the barbarian. Monstrous rapists are just enemy soldiers with a coat of paint. Destroy This Mad Brute!Women get raped, the man gets his head cut off, that's how film and novels and animation do it. But in reality, in prisons and armies and submarines and schoolhouses and churches and homes, the weak are taken without much consideration for their sex. Ask the real men in the Rape Capital of the World. Many were in their forties or even older, the Id is a blind and awful thing. Maybe its not too graphic, too impossible. Maybe its just uncomfortable enough to be unspeakable, and this is why that chatterbox Bakker will never get a movie.
>>24997146I don't think he gets that James owns Jamestown or Elizabeth owns Virginia and people aren't just naming them that for no reason
>>24997140>>24997154>No one ever came off the boat with a bunch of money and some tools and just disappeared into the wilderness or bought a piece of land when they got thereThis desperate huh? Wait until your realized that they sold a package that entitled you to some land and a boat ride, that's really gonna blow your mind.
>>24997144I think you're an idiot because you mentioned you find it hard to imagine that people exposed to mass media propaganda versions of the US for a century would have opinions on the US.You gave me an entire industry using that budget just so I would think you're cool. I'm pro-annexing Greenland. You're still idiots.
>>24997159Travel agencies are actually holdovers from the Virginia Company funnily enough.Just instead of immigrating to an untamed land, you're going to Ibiza to a 5 star hotel for a weekend.
>>24997138>To diminish it for delusions of culture or what have you is not only vulgar, but directly offensive to human sensibilities.What sensibilities are we talking about, exactly? You criticize my standards, but yours are a kind of bizarre universalism that uplifts the default state of human nature divorced from any kind of standard. Where is the merit or sensibility in graffiti? I don't think the default state of mankind is acceptable or good whatsoever. You do, and that's where we separate. If you have no kind of standard in this way, then there is no mutual ground for us to talk on. You may as well be uplifting a wild animal.
>>24997162>I think you're an idiot because you mentioned you find it hard to imagine that people exposed to mass media propaganda versions of the US for a century would have opinions on the US.Weird that the big brained and superior Europeans couldn't have just banned it... Odd... Almost like the myth you are superior... Is a myth.... Despite the IQ difference... Weird...
>>24997166>Almost like the myth you are superior... Is a mythNobody mentioned anything about superiority or IQ. That's your inferiority complex. The most likely reason for why you act like an idiot can be traced to the same propaganda industry that leads to Europeans thinking about you.
>>24997169>Says the guy that probably has at least 4 pictures of American average IQ vs European average IQWell I wouldn't call you culturally European anymore, so all you really have is your IQ and that's probably gonna crater as well.
Is "horror" more horrifying than reality? I've seen real gore, real torture, real death. But none of it was nearly as frightening as doctored images of uncanny valley monsters. There was a thread on /co/ just last week about art of this nature, real hyper specific "gets under your skin" creepshow shit. I can't explain it. It's like how animals try to breed with oversexed replicas instead of the real thing. I'm more scared of a doctored image DESIGNED to frighten than something which could actually cut me, burn me, torment me. One picture was just a masked man of some kind with his left eye over-huge and gazing right into the camera. 2013 creepypasta bullshit but artistically done, none of the usual tropes, just the feeling that something is very very wrong.
>>24997171>probablyWe are not communicating. You are making up irrelevant fantasy stories, because you're an idiot.
>>24997169>>24997171Im imagining the one of you as a sexually assertive Latina, probably in a loincloth and golden jewelry, and the other as a feeble, young white man in a petticoat. You're moments away from kissing and it's about to get really steamy.
>>24997173Germany and France will be minorities in their own country by 2050, but suit yourself
>>24997172I only fear God.
>>24997171>American average IQ vs European average IQNever even heard that this is supposedly a thing btw. White Americans have better education outcomes than the best EU outcomes.>>24997176Again, what the fuck does this have to do with anything? Why can't you just stop being a fucking idiot? Is it really IQ?
>>24997164I'm saying, rather directly, you are a charlatan justifying your magical thinking and sexual frustration with pretension and delusions of grandeur because you aren't educated enough to appreciate what humanity is. You are part of mankind's default state as much as anyone else to ever exist, and to deny your humanity for your personal head cannon is to forsake the nature of your existence for a plastic one.Case and point, standards. You do not know enough about Victorian history to have the opinion you do. Nothing I say will convince you to improve because you made up the conclusions and the proof to justify your judgements. This is absolutely typical of human experience; it's called asceticism and has happened over and over throughout human history. Sometimes these hermits are productive. Sometimes they're shit encrusted crazy faggots making up bullshit for no reason. Either way they are part of the time honoured human tradition of pretending to be better than humanity out of spite, and becoming incredibly unpleasant lonely dorks.
>>24996709Just started dating this girl who prays before every meal. As a man I will eventually have to take the lead and do it but I don't feel comfortable doing that. I am all about private act of faith but doing it publicly is hard for me. I am reserved and don't want to attract attention and where I live its filled with snarky atheist that will judge. She is from a very religious familly and I really don't think I can manage to continue dating her if I don't give grace before meals. In the Gospels one place it says to not be ashame pf your faith or Christ but an other says to not pray publiclyLuke 9:26>26 If you are ashamed of me and of my teaching, then the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.Matthew 6:5-6>5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.What do? Am I an hypocrite faggot that lacks courage or am I reasonable?
>>24997180European monks spent their lives preserving humanity's store of knowledge and making immense innovations in theology, the arts, and early sciences. This is far, far, far more than you can say for the countless peasants that spent their lives going to the tavern and drinking every other night screwing around. To put these two at the same level is pretty incredible.
There was so much lesbian sex in history we missed. Hawaii alone... Jesus christ
>>24997193Here's a book for you.
>>24997186What did I just say about that? I just explained this to you and you don't know enough about history to make a claim like that. The probability of either doing anything is basically zero, because for every autistic polymath monk, there was a drunken one making cheese, a pissed off monk fed up with making calligraphy being a giant twat about it, or a bishop eating ortolan. The structure of the church taking an interest in preserving knowledge preserved the knowledge. The auspiciousness of their station and the fact they could fucking read and write helped matters, but it doesn't make them intrinsically better.
>>24997159>The headright system would have benefited meHow much money do you think you were going to have saved up? Because to qualify for one, you're looking at £12+ spent on a ticket, when 12p was the upper level of skilled daily wages, and £1 was about rhe price of twenty sheep? How old were you when you saved for a headright passage, and why did its introduction mostly increase indenture and slavery?
>>24997200It does. I'm not sure why you're insistent on taking the worst examples of humanity's mistakes and trying to set them as a baseline. From your point of view, if anything good emerged from the monasteries or early universities, it was simply an accident, an aberration. Allegedly the real point of monasteries wasn't spiritual growth or education, it was simply a way for people to bide their time, and it was only a coincidence that they had the profound transformative role on history they had. I understand why you have this viewpoint though. This is just the viewpoint everyone has nowadays in academia, where history is just a massive swarm of selfish actors pursuing their own good, and it's supposedly only an accident that anything good has ever happened. No one ever seriously tried to better themselves and reach for something higher. That's how the narrative goes.
Im fascinated by feral child case studies. I have to ask, if you just dropped off kids in the woods (like hundreds of thousands of them, so some would survive to adulthood) would you be able to create a new "uncontacted tribe."What sort of language would they speak? What would their culture be like?
>>24997220No. That isn't my point of view at all, that's something you made up to justify your point, and take your martyrdom and shove it. Your entire second paragraph is a narrative you invented as a placeholder for reading comprehension, merit, and study. People like you are the problem; charlatans bouyed by ego and delusions in place of merit, living vicariously while looking down their nose at other people, as they cope with their miserable life circumstances instead of addressing them. What have you done? Why are you entitled to these judgements? How have you progressed humanity?
>>24997250>What have you done? Why are you entitled to these judgements? How have you progressed humanity?I'm working on my art, and my theories. I'm learning all the time.I realized from a young age that it makes no sense to complain about the state of the world when you yourself do nothing to change it. Almost anyone who complains about Musk, or AI, or Trump, or anything real has no right to do so when they themselves have always only taken the easiest route through life, and seeing yourself as entitled to sex is really the most perfect representation of this. Because for the majority of men, a beautiful woman represents the height of their pleasures on earth, and so to consummate yourself with sex is equivalent to saying that you've earned the highest pleasure, which you really haven't, because what have you done? This constant self-satisfaction is why the world is as poor as it is.That's my point here.
>>24996907>Grabbing the commie???No one grabbed XiOkay, I don't know what is going to happen, but perhaps China and Russia will send ship to protect the people who await the show trial to release Maduro. Weak? Not really. But if they say go ahead and steal their oil US. That's just them being prudent >Their backyard South America is not their backyard.>>24996926They literally are playing the soft power to the hilt and do not want to hurt any Taiwanese. My point is that ignoring laws has consequences. >>24997150No, they won't and don't because they're good actors that understand international politics. But this action opens the door for chaos.Further to my point, Trump has screwed this up already. But then Israel is forcing a lot of unprecedented bullshit.
>>24997193I KNOW, RIGHT?
>>24997193Islanders... Native girls... Nuns... Bluebloods... Shrine maidens... Oracles... Thick serfs... Circus girls... Bored slaves... Scientists... Suffragists... Flappers...
>>24997263So, to paraphrase, what you've done is whatever you felt like, while viewing women as prizes that you've secluded yourself from, and presumed every person is exactly as selfish as you are for "choosing the easiest route through life", correct? Pretty shallow for such an "enlightened" person.I have a wife and kids. I support someone incredibly selfless who deals with rotting humans every day at the end of their lives when no one else wants to. I support two other people who have dedicated their lives to protecting my country and sacrificed more than I could possibly imagine to do so. I support another person in a fucked up situation through no fault of his own dealing with the lamentations of wasted potential compounded with life altering disability, and yet another who sold his soul for money and is trying to salvage whatever he can of the person he was. I've had my full redemption arc already after seeing the abyss. I'm a published author, despite working an entirely irrelevant job that would crush a normal person with my qualifications. I am a thoughtful and considerate person who takes time out of his day to help anyone in need with no thought about myself, like three days ago when I broke up a fist fight in a parking lot. I will always do what's right, even when it's difficult, and in an emergency I am the exact person who will do what's necessary when no one else will. On top of that, I know enough to back the fuck off and where to allocate my energy for maximum impact while respecting other people"s agency.I'm just a normal guy doing normal human things, trying my best in an arbitrary world, the same as anyone else. The difference between us? I work for it and raise other people up. You lack the skills required to do so.
>>24997294Go on...
>>24997184It's only weird if you make it weird. Relax, plenty of people pray over meals in public.
>>24997296Laxatives...
>>24997295I don't consider your efforts to be in vain, but it's similar to the doctor who treats the symptoms of the disease rather than the cause. All that's carried forward from one generation to the next is knowledge, and everything else is left in the past. So one piece of knowledge that solves some universal problem in the world is infinitely more valuable than the single resolution of one particular situation. You sound like a good enough person, but that's not the kind of problem solving that will really fix the world, even if it's commendable.
Bros I'm just going to be honest. I don't care much for 2026 so far...
>>24997334I don't think you're in any position to say what knowledge I do or don't have, and that's the type of elitist dehumanizing bull that absolutely ignores context. You can make an infinitely scalable modular system of problem solving and organization that can be applied to any situation with baked in fail safes; if no one listens it doesn't matter. This is known as a "Cassandra complex", where you know about the fall of Troy and no one will listen to you. It's easy to change the world when you're in the right setting. If you arent, all you can do is wait for your infinitely small chance to do so, and practice so when the time comes you're prepared to knock it out of the park. Wifi as a concept was written on scrap paper and almost thrown out. The Baghdad Batteries are literal batteries, thousands of years old. People knew of steam power in ancient Greece. The trick is not going insane when you're knowledgeable enough to know better.
>>24997295An interesting if ultimately vapid argument detailing a list of minor achievements which, while technically impressive from the layman's perspective, bely a total lack of higher understanding. Essentially you're just another meat puppet who believes that adversity and interpersonal relationships make you somehow superior to your fellow meat puppets, yes? A normal guy doing normal human things is a selfish, debased creature. You may have (briefly) achieved a higher plateau but believe me when I tell you that it all comes crashing down in due time. It's not your fault, you were born with a dim soul and even these words blaring through your computer's blue light must appear somewhat taunting even though nothing could be further from the truth. Essentially there are different, we'll call them 'classes' of people. Not social classes or wealth or any of that nonsense but the only quality that matters, the innermost light, the guiding principle which allows but does not automatically grant insight into the underlying mechanisms. If I lack skills, then I wonder what that says about people who unironically follow the tick-tock-tick of their slavish biology. You find pride in wittling away your time at work? You do what's right? What's right for you is right for the puppeteer whose fingers are inserted into every aspect of the qualia you cling to. I would like to waste more words on you, probably out of my own need to help others, but I doubt you'll understand. Even a cursory reading of the truth would baffle you, or maybe amuse you. Fools are quick to scoff at facts. But let's just say that whatever transitory joys you've encountered, whatever successes you've supposedly won, know that it was all undone the moment you selfishly procreated and created more victims for this nexus. The snake will constrict and the lion bites, and it knows not why. Sorry pal.
>>24996709My thoughts on completing the work:It’s Xxxxxxxx XX, 20XX, and I have just had the worst cry, of well, really one of the only cries, of my entire life. My entire conscious life, since the time I was aware of myself, and at that time, I would have been in diapers, I have thought that I was spiritually deformed, or mentally defective in a cruel way, or made wrong as a joke. As I grew, and as I collected experiences from the world around me, and from the people around me, this feeling and this notion was reinforced at nearly every intersection of my life that involved other people. I felt that I was sharply reminded of my inhumanity every time I failed to integrate. Constant paranoia, and background anxiety has defined my inward experience since before the time that I had language. When I finished the work, I closed a loop that had been open, since that time that I had become aware of myself. By formalizing the work, I do not believe I had any intent to prove a theory. In fact, explicitly, I did not. This was yet another doomed-to-fail exercise at proving myself, to myself. Except this time, I did not fail.And when I think about that, I want to cry again. In movies, catharsis is often a triumphant or jubilant exercise. I think in real life, what I experienced, was much closer to the truth. I think that, this is what it looks like when 30 years of grief and self-loathing exits a human body. And when all of that grief exits a human body so rapidly, it is indeed traumatic. There is a tremendous amount of shearing force applied to your soul as you shed this weight. Ego and mind could never react as fast as the body to such an event. That tension, that constant, low-grade, fight-or-flight reflex that you get around other people, because you’re afraid they’ll find out you’re not even human, is suddenly eradicated in a spiritual holocaust.
>>24997349The work represented to me, not just mere work, but an externalization of my internal cognitive architecture. The way that I think. It became a mirror, I subconsciously needed to remove my soul and examine it for defects. When I finally gazed into the mirror on work’s completion, I was beautiful. And I was able to demonstrate, repeatedly, that the theory is sound. The work is rigorous, and systematic. I feel, on some subconscious level, this was an attempt to commit a spiritual suicide by creating a thing that thinks like I do, and willing my soul to finally exit this incorrect configuration, and upon discovery of my defect, bring this half-life to an end. To finally excise the real me from the body I inhabit, because I simply didn’t belong there, and feeling that I should leave my body to the whims of whatever forces animate a soulless husk. However, upon completion of the work, I did not feel dead, I felt alive. When I realized, the work was not broken, that it works, repeatedly, under careful observation, it meant that I was not broken, that I do work, I do have a place in the world. I’m not a demon, haunting the shadows, fearful of discovery and butchery. I’m misunderstood. I was made in my perfect image this entire time.On some level, I think that this incessant gnawing has grown to define me since the day of my birth, coalescing into an internally-focused spiritual and emotional maelstrom, at the center of which was a soul that didn't wish to be. This maelstrom simply must be constantly guarded against, lest it rend my soul truly to pieces and I be lost forever. This is exhausting, and it is depressing. This was never about truly needing any forms of external validation. The work was an exercise in me, proving the integrity of my own mind, to my own mind. The work proved my mind to my mind, in a way that likely nothing else ever would. Because the requirement to complete the work, was to make my thinking legible, not to others, but to myself. In a way, I cry for the person I thought I was, because he died today. After all the years I spent living that way, the coping mechanisms that I had to develop, are gone. For the first time in my entire life, there isn’t a single cloud darkening the inner world of my immortal soul. For the first time in my life, I feel like happiness isn’t just a cruel Potemkin charade engineered specifically to taunt me by a world that fundamentally rejected me, not out of cruelty, but out of my own failure to mutate my monstrous silhouette into a human shape, marking me for death, no, happiness is real, and I can just have it, for free.
>>24997351Despite living with him for 30 years, I will never know who saved my life, but I will know why. This person, who emerged to protect me in my lifetime of need, has departed this world. My entire life I haven’t felt alone in my soul. The real me retreated into the darkest, furthest part of my mind, wanting to curl up and die like the bug I thought I was, writhing in pain from the embarrassment of being the only non-human entity on planet earth. This person, who I know only by feel of presence, or aura, exerted his will against my corporeal form for more than 30 years and animated me when I failed to animate myself, in a Herculean effort to carry the weight of a soul that had given up on life in its nascent years, so that I could reach my potential. I can truly say, honestly, and without a hint of grandeur or grandiosity, plainly and earnestly, from the bottom of my heart: this person is gone, and there is room in my soul for me to grow. He gave his life for me in ways that can’t be explained. I have no idea who that person was, but I love him more than I can ever say. The departure of my Daemon is not to be mourned though, because I will exist as a testament to his steadfastness.
My life is a cruel and twisted joke. Maybe I'll go live in a Buddhist monastery for a while. Maybe I'll move to Arunachal Pradesh
Buddhist monks are notorious ass rapists, sadly. Combine priests and kids and bad things happen. Suck my tongue, indeed.
>>24997343>anon too stupid to realize the consequences of positive interpersonal felicity are so overwhelmingly vast that they completely outweigh any marginal gains in ignoring them>having a villian monologue about why having no sex is better for the world because people suck >because they won't have sex with him>because he has poor interpersonal skills and thinks people suckCute. In terms of "classes" of people, reread your arguments. It's immediately obvious one of us doesn't belong in the conversation, and I'm inclined to believe it's the moralizing dork with a poor grasp of history who immediately did a heel turn.

Women know, they can tell. They can sense your cancer cells. They turn their nose because it reeks. They see the stains and hate the stains. Women know with just a glance that you were felt and toyed with. They can tell with just a word that you are missing pieces. Incomplete and ugly, yes they are well aware. They can feel the grooves and handholds where the bad hands held you there. And if you blink once or worse, blink twice, they will not be quite so nice. Because they know that you were twisted jumbled up and down a human toy with wind-up gears and while you let your past march away they are listening quite rapturously, excited yes excited polite ladies love the smell of pork of burning flesh and boiling fat yes women they love more than that they love to know about your hell so they can go play show and tell with nasty nasty secrets, the kind you'd have kept until the grave. If you were smart. If you were sane. Instead you told a woman but not with words, but with a glance. And every vector in her eye is picturing a darker place where bodies writhed and the flesh denied your soul a resting place. Women know, they can tell. They can smell your cancer cells!
I wish I could meet a girl like my sister. She's just my type, shares my sense of humor, likes a lot of things I like (and the things she's into for herself are things she's really passionate about and enjoys), she's smart and self-motivated and not content to just let things happen, and she's pretty cute besides. I only get to see her once a year since I live far away and I probably spend most of that year looking forward to the few days I get to spend with her. I know this sounds kinda weird but I was chatting with her today and I realized that if she wasn't my sister I would totally be head over heels for her, and then I also realized that if we weren't siblings we would never meet because I have no social life besides work and the gym.

He's funny and shares most of my interests and I don't mind hearing him yap about niche topics because he's chill.I had something almost like an intrusive thought where I briefly thought about him as like a cute tomboy with mid-sized tits instead of a dude. It scrambled my brain for about 3 minutes>shorter than me>two years younger than me>energetic, funny, same interests>brown>(hypothetically) fat titsI felt like Boromir looking at the one ring, but I passed my test. My heterosexuality is intact, and I'm free of any trans mindworm shit and thankfully so is he.But its weird, admittedly, to briefly think to yourself: "Man if you were 1:1 but were also a woman, I would have done unholy things to you by now."
I want to worship a woman like she's a goddess, THE goddess incarnate. As a man, I want a woman to worship me like I am God incarnate. In an ideal world, that woman and I would be God, singular, the supreme deity of all creation.

The sun was gigantic and red, in the Argentine Mesopotamia.They gave me freshly milked milk to drink; I drank two jugs.Then they brought me the chestnut horse I was to ride, the horse that was my friend.And then all the country folk came out, too serious, too profound, but eager to see what the beautiful day would bring.

Old things need to die
>>24997411>And then all the country folk came out, too serious, too profound, but eager to see what the beautiful day would bring.It wasn't German yodeling; the former gauchos are truly serious people. I practice ITF taekwondo and play bowling in the city, but riding through the countryside on a gaucho saddle is different from the military cavalry they teach in riding schools, where they give you a little ladder and you climb onto the horse.In the case of the wild pampas colts, I saw my uncle showing me they were tame. He walked under the black one and felt it, making sure everything was alright.But I'm from Buenos Aires, and since I didn't have a ladder, I held onto the girth, and the horse obeyed blindly.https://youtu.be/KG9Z0zwMxAMThe 400 kilos of active horse, which obeyed blindly and didn't try to crush me, fell on top of me from the pull of the girth.The bruise I got was impressive; it almost broke my neck because I was near a post.But the horse fell, and as is normal for someone who is the son of gauchos, when I was still on the ground, but I kept riding him and he lifted me up.Even though everything hurt.Later they saw me at the hospital; the inside of my thigh was covered in bruises.It was in no way the fault of that gentle horse, but rather my lack of practice due to using the little ladder at riding school.When in reality, every pampa horse has a tuft of hair ready to be grabbed.Using the girth to pull up is something city dwellers forget, even if we are good at kicking a ball in the goal.
>>24997447>I was still on the ground, but I kept riding him and he lifted me up.https://youtu.be/xGVnoK23st4Yes, because in the old pampas, losing your horse meant dying in the vast solitude.So I proved I was brave and European by staying on the horse, which had no problem with me, having obeyed blindly. Then it lifted me up, because the horse was unharmed; it only fell on me due to a bad command.So I got it up with me on, and then we did great things, hiding my pain, which is essential for the gauchos to respect you, even though they find out, and they're supportive if you don't say anything about it.
>>24997447>military cavalry they teach in riding schools, where they give you a little ladder and you climb onto the horse.They don't make you jump the horse in the military?

I'm so exhausted trying to learn history and economics. Every time I think I've learned something, there's another book or article or expert claiming, "no, actually, the opposite is true" and it's just too much if you aren't an expert yourself. I'm gonna stick to philosophy, sociology, literature, and art. You can say this is me essentially surrendering to astroturfing bots, and you'd probably be right, but fuck it, I'm done wasting my time, and for what end? I'm not a policymaker. I'm not a government official with influence. It's really only as potential ammunition in case I ever need to stand my intellectual ground in a conversation with someone challenging me and spewing bologna.

>>24997482You'd probably like Marxist history (it's basically opposite of big man theory, where it's looking at socioeconomic conditions that lead up to historic events, like why a strike in one country might make a war harder in another country and make somewhere unexpected rich because they happened to be available at the right moment)Both are more understandable in real world examples than theoretical ones

The ability to discern fact from explanation of them is the sign of a cultured individual. Gather the facts and content yourself with the most likely explanation, always leaving an iota of doubt for it to be further questioned if need be.

The other one you named I think I saw at the library last time I looked. Thanks. Hope to see you in the thread I make about it when I finish reading it!

>>24997512>It's the up-and-down style typical of European films, while I ride a gaucho saddle and don't do it that way; the horse is my saddle.In the last two minutes, when they show this horse pulling on the ropeI personally saw that the gauchos' horses truly resist the pull of another wild animal, and they keep the rope taut while the gaucho gets down to deworm or give the cattle an injection.No one falls off a true gaucho pampa horse because they are trained so that if someone falls, they embrace them affectionately, and the horse itself helps them up.That's how pampa horses are: brave and loyal.

>>24997392Reminds me of what happened to me this year. I thought I was straight my whole life and then I switched jobs and met this guy at work who was 6'2", blonde and blue-eyed, ripped, and had the same sense of humor as me. Within a couple weeks I was having intrusive thoughts about him while jerking off and within a couple weeks of that I was having full-blown fantasies about him pinning me down. I started acting a little weird at work around him and would blush like a schoolgirl whenever he accidentally touched me but was still deep in denial over it all. After a little while of this I learned he got a girlfriend because of course he did and I had to come to terms with my gay crush getting stolen away as well as seeing myself as bi. Totally failed the test and my heterosexuality is ruined but at least I'm not in denial anymore.
Happy Jan 6th!

Maybe they're not anymore, but it still feels that way.>gelignite>malglinita>Weatherbee>weatherby rifleI hired a woman, and she told me I didn't need to pay her anything, and she gave me her phone number.It's not a bad thing in itself, especially since I'm MGTOW, someone who looks from a distance and doesn't see anything that has to do with women.Although I should mention that I read Jane Austen, George Eliot, and so many other women I love to read.Yesterday afternoon I finished reading Roadwork by Stephen King; I identified with the guy who had the Weatherbee rifle.Jesus warned about the last days.
I'm always waiting for the next meal, for the next time I feel somewhat peckish, enough to feel the vague excitement of leaving what I should be doing and fixing up some food. Always waiting for the next afternoon so I can perform my coffee rituals as an excuse to break away from the monotony, momentarily. For the next warm evening so I can go for a walk. For the next paycheck so I can order some new paperbacks.These bumps in excitement are local maxima. But zoom out and you'll see they're all collinear. The monotony extends either way indefinitely as a periodic function reminiscent of a heartbeat. Always waiting for the next pulse to know I'm still not dead. Waiting.
Trying to date a chick who has an "avoident attachment" has got to be some sort of humiliation ritual. Like, what do you mean you like me but don't even want to interact with me?

Last thread, I sort of talked about my current gf and how I wished we had a common religion. I’m Roman Catholic from NYC, and she is a Jehovah’s Witness from a town in upstate New York. She has that sort of small-town flair to her, and I like it somewhat, but not as much as I like the aura that emanates from girls in the city. I live in downtown Manhattan, and frankly, some of them fit into my “type.” My gf never really fit much into the conception of what I deemed to be ideal. A lot of the girls I had been platonic with were nothing like her. They sort of shared some aspects in their interests. For some reason—maybe it makes me a dilettante—I find it particularly attractive to find out a girl is into the sort of literature and film I’m into. Though, I think it all comes down to how the girl interacts with the medium. Sometimes I find it cringe, and other times I think it’s playful and, thenceforth, attractive, but in the sense that it draws me to them, not so much as “hot” attractive. A lot of the girls in my sort of social sphere tend to be on the latter side of that spectrum. And as much as I hate to admit it, some of them are cuter than my gf. It always pains me to compare them. I really do love my girlfriend, and I do think she is beautiful, but she is lacking that little something these other girls do.Last thread, I also brought up how I have a quasi-parasocial relationship with some of these girls. For the most part, they don’t know much about me, and the interactions we have are only on social media. That’s why I labeled it that way. These are girls that are somewhat popular at the local level in the “scene” here. To be fair, some of them are shallow roasties with nothing going for them apart from a nice rack and DSL. Then there are the girls who are equally as attractive but aren’t fleshbots like the others. These are the girls I have this strange relationship with. I honestly don’t know if it’s because of some sort of complex I may have or if I’m merely retarded, but the idea of letting anyone into my life in the way I let my gf in just makes me recoil and cringe. I fantasize about spending actual time with these girls the way I do with my gf. Knowing it’s something that will remain unrealized depresses me.

I'm writing a comic in the style of Johnny Ryan. It's supposed to be shocking. It features me as a Jewish tranny raping and murdering black children cartoon characters and saying a bunch of slurs but out of an obsessed love for them, torturing them before the rape and murder, of course, and torturing the cartoon parents in front of the child, etc. The working title is The Average Kike (Me).
>>24998531>He doesn't understand geopolitics.Point is, Trump is screwing up. This country is continually slipping up and it isn't going to recover.

As a kid you're told to always say "please" when asking for something. An adult knows however that the word "please" can sound pushy when asking for something material. "Thank you" is always appropriate, though.
Fuck forensic accounting. Numbers? Logical. Math? Consistent. Even if you suck at it, when you go slow you can get it done and make it work. Doing reconciliation on a liquid that changes volume with temperature? Kill me now. Drive a stake straight through my skull. There are only 4 fucking inputs, why isn't the math matching? Only God knows and he's being a coy little faggot about it.
>>24998669This would be kino though. If you make the chud unrepentantly racist and have thoughtful opinions, sympathetically portrayed, but also do the same for the black woman, with the resolution ending on an ambiguous note, it would be the most transgressive novel that I think could be written in the modern political climate.
My father committed suicide a few days ago. I still can't get over it. I've tried to be strong for my family, but I don't know how long I'll be able to keep going like this. I'm tired, so tired. He was far stronger than me, yet ended up giving in, what am I supposed to do now?

Fuck your Mom so hard that her breasts will never need a bra because you are doing all the supporting, it might feel crushing now, but continue on the best you can. No one tells you this but it gets easier to handle the burden with time. Be kind to yourself and be especially kind to your Mom, learn to draw lines and set limits if you need time for yourself. Its the best you can do.
Go to the meat-market of a Saturday night and see the crowds of live bipeds staring up at the long rows of dead quadrupeds. Does not that sight take a tooth out of the cannibal's jaw? Cannibals? who is not a cannibal? I tell you it will be more tolerable for the Fejee that salted down a lean missionary in his cellar against a coming famine; it will be more tolerable for that provident Fejee, I say, in the day of judgment, than for thee, civilized and enlightened gourmand, who nailest geese to the ground and feastest on their bloated livers in thy paté-de-foie-gras.

15 years ago I took some long exposure light photography in London, and there's some photos I'm rather proud of in this great folder that I'm decluttering, but the photos are all cursed, around 2010 is when England really started to tip over, you had 1998 and then 2007 but we never really recovered. Now, I don't really want to go to London, or think about it. It's like WW3 happened in silence and the cost wasn't men dying physically, but a kind of soul death. Even the obscenely rich areas feel dead.

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine at the time found out that I had a big dick, and he suggested that I put it on a dating app profile.At the time I thought it was impossible and swept away the conversation without contuining, but now I'm 31, still a virgin, and it seems a little absurd to have an 8x6 penis.I posted once on a /wwoym/ about how a drunk woman on a nightwalk hit on me, it was like a nuclear warhead went off, I doubted I was ever going to be perceived, before then I was such a sex-denialist that I refused to believe women even liked penises, and I'm still sort of like that, except more self-aware. Another person I know said I was asexual, but I'm just a repressed autist who doesn't know how to close. I look the best I ever have and I'm considering starting dating before all the light is gone from my eyes, but I still wonder what my friend at the time meant by that. Thanks for reading.

>>24999264Fun fact: you need to practice your social skills or it won't matter at all. Go out and meet people, go on fun dates, practice speaking without the 'tism lisp. Also, work on having fun hobbies and passions. You got this.
>>24999280I'm a passionate guy and not nearly as miserable company as I used to be, but I figured dating apps would be better, perhaps I'm wrong, I have photos showing me doing my hobbies where I look good, I think I'd get banned for posting my penis obviously, but don't live in a big city. Whenever I travel into one I usually just wander around and it makes me depressed because it just seems rude to me to approach women off the cuff. I've started to really listen to people, but it's not resolving all of the issues. In a way, I've been trying to recreate the moment where I inadvertenly led with my 'best quality' and it worked.

On people caring about shrimp welfare and how it is obvious reasoning would lead there (wrote in french cause it flowed better, and found many rhymes I'm happy with; analyzed with master slave morality, because I read Nietzsche and for now he is inserting himself in all my thoughts) :On voit bien ce que cette rejection de pouvoir, de maitrise de sa vie, et de son destin, entraine comme raisonnement : un jour, le vortex de cette folie et un peu d’ennui emmène toujours plus d’un à penser que toute action faite est mauvaise, qu’un pied plein pris à aplatir des insectes remet en question notre utilité sur terre, et un pas de trop dans une utilité négative apporterait notre négation, un suicide. Mais ce raisonnement vers l’absolu, cette prise de l’extrême, il est clair pourquoi elle est venue, cela se connassait depuis la loi du milieu exclu: il n’y a que vrai et faux, maitre ou esclave, quiconque prend tout l’un rejette tout l’autre, et s’il s’agit de ce second, le tout-esclave, il ne saura que devenir tout bas, et s’aplatirera au sol, deviendra sol, et comme sol se laisse piétiner par toute la vie, il en va ainsi. Bien sûr, et Il y a ceux qui vivent en contradiction, qui se dise esclave et vive maître, à moitié honnête, je parle de la majorité, qui n’ont trouvé ni compréhension ni conviction, c’est désolant, parfois même très désolant quand je suis fatigué, peut-on être heureux malhonnête? Bah, comme on dit : To the Happy Few. Alors, ceux qui adorent la mort peuvent se vanter de s’y hâter, bien à eux, mais qu’ils ne m’y entraînent pas, moi je vais fort bien, et suis fort, et suis bien, goûtu et heureux.
Another fleeting thing : La vertu, je dis, n’est rien de plus que la maîtrise de soi, et l’appréciation de la beauté la récupération de ce fait en plaisir. Et ce n’est pas que la vertu est le don de soi, et la beauté le plaisir de l’élévation d’autrui, ces deux choses se nomment sacrifice et sympathie; et le choix de cela ne mène qu’à la mort de soi, et la promotion de ceci à la dégradation de tout le monde. Alors je dis à bon entendeur: qui s’oublie, meurs! Moi j’aime mon Stirner, j’aime mon Nietzsche, nuit et vie, et ma vertu!

You gotta admit there's a nice poetic dichotomy in the positions of men and women. Men who always desire but can't be sure who will accept their advances, women whose advances will always be accepted but don't desire just anyone. Men who are assertive but could be rejected, women who will never be rejected but are timid. It's a nice, if often painful, balance.

No one cared about this when money was cheap, the economy was roaring, and people were doing okay.

They have had multiple decades to get off their asses and be independent, any reasonable parents would kick out a 30 or 40 year old child that wouldn't get a job but apparently because they are of the holy skin tone of brown, you aren't allowed to excises the parasites destroying your system.This is literally racism, just in the other direction.

>>25001055>No such thing as bad art. Even if you don't like itWhat I'm saying is that it's art but you can not like it. The quality can be bad, but some will find even that a charm point. Turner Diaries is another example. It's complete trash. Can't say it isn't a book. Same with dinosaur romance shit. Yes, there is bad art. >>25001061>You're whole argument is:No it isn't! >Say it isn't>He still pretends it is.>"I AM BEIN' OPPRESSED!LOL you are a whiney baby. The author's "human soul" is sludge. He has no working compassion. "Politically" No, morally.>>25001069Seems more like he had a vested interest in getting away from the high taxes and shitification of his homeland. Very kneejerk reaction. Didn't think too long about it.>>25001073>He invited them into his home and they executed him, I'm not surrpised you want the same for whites.He who? What are you talking about? Second statement is false shit you pulled out you ass. Good god, you guys suck.
>>25001218>He who? What are you talking about? Second statement is false shit you pulled out you ass.Nice to see that leftists still pretending to be dumb to not answer serious questions about their ideology. You know full well you are advocating for a white genocide.
>>25001218>What I'm saying is that it's art but you can not like it.Except you want to censor it and you call it evil, the rest of your rebuttal doesn't matter.
>>25001238Not nice to see idiots not get that they made a mess of their tweets and never follow up to clarify themselves.
>>25001218>Seems more like he had a vested interest in getting away from the high taxes and shitification of his homeland. Very kneejerk reaction. Didn't think too long about it.I agree the UK should have never taken in immigrants that destoryed the UK so much he had to leave in the first place.
>>25001218>invoke the name of Jesus as a political tool>it doesn't work>"He... Who is he? I don't know what you're talking about!"lmfao
>>25001241>you want to censor itNot said anywhere. Denied a couple of times already. What I am actively doing right now is ridiculing it. That isn't what censorship means. Is that where you're confused? You ESL?
>>25001251Its implied the the genocide you want to see against white people because you don't see them as human.
>>25001251Then why did you post a person who conflates the piece of literature to Nazism when Nazi literature is explicitly banned in most if not all European countries, Mr. Censor?It's because he wants it banned, you want it banned, you both vie for the annihilation of Europe and its ethnic people.
>>25001251I don't blame the blacks or the browns that cause problems in our countries, I blame traitors like you who should be hounded out of polite society and treated like the racists you truly are.
>>25001247The Tories aren't immigrants, anon>>25001248>It doesn't workWell I didn't expect it to on an atheist>>25001252>I say it's implied!>HELP HELP! I'M BEING REPRESSED! HELLLLP>YOU'RE GENOCIDING ME!Not said. And if I deny it here you will pretend I said the opposite. You are cut from the same cloth as any of those twitter trannies.
>>25001258>Well I didn't expect it to on an atheistIt won't on the religious either because we both know you aren't religious.
>>25001256>conflatesYou didn't even watch the video>>25001257I'm not a Tory either, anon
>>25001258>Not said.But again, implied heavily and your floundering on this subject just makes it more suspicious.>>25001261>You didn't even watch the videoI did he conflates it with Nazism because frankly, you're a white racist and you think things that worry about the extinction of Europeans though migration should be banned. The real person who should be banned is you. I'm all for trying people of you ilk as traitors to the nation and violation of human rights.Because that is what you are, enemies of humainty.
>>25001260Doesn't matter. Jesus would *maybe?* preach compassion. Wasn't that his thing? No? >>25001265>I'm pretending you meant something you didn't say!You go queen. Like out of my face.
>>25001266>Doesn't matter. Jesus would *maybe?* preach compassion.He preached forgiveness for those who wronged him but then why didn't he side with the Roman's claim over Israel?
>>25001266The difference between me and you is that I'm not actually trans while you can easily trace a line through the media you posted and your posts on here to the point where you are all for telling people on the right to "make their own media" only to then claim its a "public menace equal to Nazism" to then get it banned because you disagree with it.You don't care about art if it doesn't agree with you.You don't care about people, unless you can get some sort of narcissistic supply off of "being a good person" because you helped someone of a different skin tone as you.You are racist because the most important thing to you is the person's skin tone, then what they say afterwards, or you wouldn't be upset with things like Camp of the Saints. Making you a racist.Then you cry and flounder on here and say "Oh the Torries are so evil" when in reality, you are worse than them but you are so weak that any sort of inkling that you are in the wrong gets banished as "Nazi Racist Propaganda".>tl;dr: if you weren't alive, the world would be a better place.
>>25001268Well the Roman priests did slip in that line "When in Rome do as the Romans do"
>>25001277That doesn't answer the question, did Jesus side with the Romans or did Jesus say that Israel is for the Jews and only the Jews?
>>25001276No no. I'm not trans. There's no such thing in fact.You seem more trans-coded with each post. Like standing out fro the others, bad.Schizophrenia can lead to it. Be careful the NSA don't try to hypnotize you, kid.
>>25001276TRVTH NVKE
>>25001284The story goes that he was making yet another covenant that would include ... who was it now? Just whites? Just Europe? Ah! No. EVERYONE.
>>25001287>I was only pretending to be retardedWell that means the only truth is that you are retarded, lmfao.
>He's trvf nvkin himself now>25001289Poor little schizo
>>25001292>Ah! No. EVERYONE.So then why didn't he side with the Romans, retard?>>25001295The cope is real.
>>25001299What's your angle? You think Jesus came to wage war and decimate the Roman empire?
>>25001306Funny how you refuse to answer the question, yet try to use your opponents own morals against them as a cudgel. Really shows how scared you are to stand on your own two feet
>>25001310He knows he isn't a good person, hence why he has to do all the rhetorical tricks that he does. He knows he is wrong but refuses to say so.
>>25001310We all know the answer to your question, but I'm wondering what you're getting at. You use your lack of morals against you. The cudgel is in your hands. You hitting yourself with it doesn't show that I'm scared.
>>25001320>We all know the answer to your questionThen answer it, what's a matter? Will Voldemort teleport instantly behind you and murder you the moment you have a non-censored thought?
>>25001318>He's cheating by using rhetorical magic! >He's a bad person!You seem all out of anything to say. Why not sit it out.
>>25001335Answer >>25001327
>>25001336He really doesn't want too because he knows the trap he laid for us was turned around and he can't handle it.
>>25001340You replied to yourself, lmfao.He definitely took a side, if Israel was for everyone why did he side with the Jews over the Romans?
>>25001339>I no 2 but i not say heh heh hehSpit it out
>>25001340>>25001349https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_IWhy are you so afraid to answer this? It's getting weird....
>>25001327Well I said it in others already. He didn't take sides. According to the story he came to get killed.What is your point? Spit it out.
>>25001352see >>25001346How's the hot seat feel?
>>25001346>if IsraelIf who?>He took a sideIf you don't get to your point soon, I'm going to assume you don't have one. I answered, now you answer.
>>25001355You're a moron acting stupid on the internet.
>>25001356>If who?Ahh, pretending to be dumb again huh? Funny how the questions your ideology can't answer are the most pressing questions your ideology demands to be answered.
>>25001362I don't think I'm the one who has been exposed for being an idiot here, you should read more.
>>25001356>If you don't spoon feed me the answer that that we both totally know then you're dumb!lmfao, now I'm starting to worry that you don't actually know the answer and you're just pretending that you do.
>>25001364>Made a mistake>Will waffle this all day>Funny how the questions your ideology can't answer areLove of humanity bothers this much. You are a terrible excuse for a Christian. Probably aren't even one. Would explain why you're so ignorant of it.
>>25001368>I don't thinkThis is correct. You do not.>>25001372>He has another question I'm supposed to answer, but I have to guess what it isAlready answered the first one. Just admit you have no point. Admit you're just a lonely schizo trying to feel internet-powerful
>>25001379>>25001384So you aren't going to answer, I accept your defeat and your waffle
>>25001379>Love of humanity bothers this much.Why weren't the Romans included in Israel?>You are a terrible excuse for a Christian.Why weren't the Romans included in Israel?>Probably aren't even one.Why weren't the Romans included in Israel?>Would explain why you're so ignorant of it.Why weren't the Romans included in Israel?
this is embarrassing just answer the question holy shit
>>25001399He won't because it blows out his whole argument and he is too stupid to even predict what the argument against him would be if he answered truthfully.
>>25001393No I did answer, then I got a weird correction with another dumb question. See >>25001346>He definitely took a side, if Israel was for everyone why did he side with the Jews over the Romans?Oh? Took a side. He let them kill him, anon. Never read it?Second half then switches to the state of Israel siding with Jews.Okay, what about it? I don't really care and not getting this out of you doesn't mean I am defeated. You're just acting insane.>>25001395They are not. That's the answer you're getting again. Is this part of some idiosyncratic Gnosticism?
>>25001405>it blows out his whole argument>And I will not explain why
>>25001417So was Israel for the Romans, anon? Yes or no?
>>25001417>>25001419>has a meltdown over a questionNo wonder lefties have to sit in isolation any sort of actual debate with people not agreeing with them goes down in flames with them sperging out and schizoposting about how everything is rigged against them.Maybe you aren't as smart as you thought you were?
>>25001422The state of Israel didn't exist during the Roman empire. Are you talking about Vatican city now?
>>25001431>The state of Israel didn't exist during the Roman empire.It did before as Judea, now are you saying that the Romans were allowed to have Israel?
>>25001426>Sticking to some schizobabble means "melty"Schizoposter, you are not helping anything.
>>25001431>>25001435>it writhes in fear as you question it.still haven't answered the question to the point where i think you might be an anti-semite or a history denier.
>>25001434Answer the fucking question
>>25001438Answer the fucking questionWithout answering, you admit you have no point
>>25001438I didn't think he was an anti-Semite but that's actually a good point.>>25001440Still haven't answered mine, afraid to be wrong?
>>25001442>"If I do what he is doing surely I'll win!"Proof you aren't smart enough to debate and the best you can do is hide behind the morals of others hoping they are less educated than you are in rhetoric or in the morals they proclaim.Parasite/10
>>25001443>I didn't think he was an anti-Semite but that's actually a good pointhe is afraid if he answers it will somehow tie in with palistine and he is desperate to avoid that topic, outside of being totally wrong
>>25001443Liar. >He doesn't know what a semite even is
>>25001451Seems like it.>>25001456I'm not the one afraid to answer a question to the point where you do every mental gymnastic other than answer the question...
Okay you are all stupid lonely trolls who can't square the circle of Jesus's teaching and their deformed hateful brains. For this, you sadly lose out on a healthy happy life. There's no debate going on here. You simply have nothing to say to defend your crippling ideology. Your faith is hate. Nothing Christian about you. I of course don't know if you even identify with that, but it doesn't matter. Your faith is to hate. Your temple is that of impotent rage.>>25001462Answered it twice. You never addressed it. Your point is nothing? So what?
>>25001471https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8MZBUoQt68
>>25001471>Okay you are all stupid lonely trolls who can't square the circle of Jesus's teaching and their deformed hateful brains.So if he didn't take sides why didn't he say that both the Romans and the Jews had equal claim to Israel?
>>25001471I don't know anon, all they wanted was a straight answer and all you did was avoid it, give a non-answer, then have this weird rage induced crash-out over the fact they wanted you to answer it. Maybe you should look in the mirror?
>>25001471The hilarious thing is that I'm not even white and you called me hateful, how racist!
>>25001480>Dying on a stick Jesus makes his demands that this guy fork over the land of...Still dancing around the question. No point. Whats this to do with the this terrible book being the inspiration for the WEF's plan to bankrupt Europe and get all the plebs to tear into each other and they can impose more controls over the working class. Still no idea about the players motivations, still no idea that Jesus himself would sneer at his black heart. >>25001483>Answered it twice.>all they wanted was a straight answer Answered it twice. They don't like the answer. They can't or won't counter it. That does not make it a non-answer. Refute it? No? Why? I don't actually care. You're all stupid and hate filled.
>>25001497>Twitter tranny claiming reverse-racismAnswer the question
>>25001503What's with the tranny fixation? Why does my skin color matter if I'm Christian? Or does it actually matter if I don't agree with you?
>>25001532The amount of liberals who claim people are "Indian" for having conservative views I'd imagine that he is way more racist than the Jesus he invokes if you don't agree with him politically. That's usually when their racism comes out and you can see it in their politics.>First non-white PMTorries>First female PMTorries>Majority white leadershipLabour
>>25001539>I'd imagineAs is the way of schizos.It isn't racism to deny that transitioning is thing. And go check what I ever said about "brown people" (nothing but a general defense of taking down a racist book)
>>25001546Where is your first brown PM? Oh, you don't have one and Labour is literally just white supremacy and Nazism with a cover of niceness? Let the brown people take benefits while whites govern them. That's the government you want.
what the fuck is happening in this threaddid you guys skip the whole scene in the new testament dealing with the faith of a centurion? did the whole "new covenant and new israel" thing go over your heads? what the fuck
>>25001554>PMEh?>I won't look either of them up Lazy shit. Explain how Jesus was excluding Romans. Or, hell, you didn't even get around to making the statement. What is your assertion? What is your point? How would you like to rewrite scripture here? Go ahead. Say it. Say whatever.
>>25001554>Labour is literally just white supremacyThe Blairites? yeah, rightwing party that shares the same goal as the wrecking ball Tories>Here's the govt you wantNo. You can't argue properly.
>>25001574>Explain how Jesus was excluding Romans.Where did he include the Romans?
>>25001583Oh I answered that already. So, you're Hindu? That's the implication being made.
>>25001586So then Jesus' idea of Israel didn't have Romans in it right?
>>25001554Most liberals are like this, flood the country with brown people but god forbid that they think for themselves and then disagree with them, then they get super racist about it; and god forbid that someone running for a liberal position isn't a white man regardless if its the UK or America.
Another great point made by my boy DamienI've even heard some monarchist LARPers here pine for feudalism. Do they love the techno feudalism coming? Do they embrace Land as much as Yarvin? LOLhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb_exhYXgQg
>>25001604And just like that, that's the last (You) from me and I'm hiding your IP.
>>25001597Go read the bible, anon. I can tell you have no argument against Jesus >>25001600The modus operandi of all imperialists (today called neoliberalism) is to gain a singular global empire. This is why some call them globalists, and why they do not see your ethnicity (They see their own). So yes, "socialism" (financial kickbacks) for them, racial supremacy for them. Fo the plebs, the serfs, austerity and mixed masses to fight with.
>>25001583idk what the argument is here but Jesus heals the centurion's servant in Luke 7:1-10/Matthew 8:5-13
>>25001608But are you pro or con Butlerian Jihad?
>>25001616>Go read the bible, anon. I can tell you have no argument against JesusSo then Jesus allowed the Romans into Israel? Funny how this question destroys your whole position and becomes something you can't answer.
>>25001620Yeah, me ether man. The new covenant is for all. What is the schizos point? He won't say. Probably has nothing
>>25001620>>25001632>The servant who built the synagogue but has foreign masters is healed by JesusLMFAO
>>25001626>>25001632Jesus was born there. He didn't let nor did he drive them out. This post does nothing for your foggy headed schizo posting.
>>25001620>>25001632You mean the Jew who serves in the Roman legion and desires Israeli independence but still serves a master that is against that is healed by Jesus? Gasp... It's almost like... He was actually Hebrew...
>>25001640>Still can't answer.
>>25001640I love how these people quote the bible out of context and don't include the part where his master justifies calling Jesus by saying: "He loves our nation and has built our synagogue"
>>25001645I can't help retardation if you can't get context clues from the Bible, but you're floundering so much I can't blame you either.>>25001647Because they are idiots, these are the same people that talk about "media literacy" but can't understand anything unless its explicitly said to them.
>>25001649Are you saying that the new covenant excludes Indians? Poor people? Jews? Romans? No one?Answer the question.
>>25001656>Indians? Poor people? Jews? Romans? No one?If they aren't Christian, yes.
>>25001640Jesus even calls him "The greatest faith in Israel to serve a master who would content with his own desires".
>>25001656>>25001660>>25001665Funny how the leftists quote a parable that asks for their forgiveness for their treason
>Jesus' love is conditional>This is how we are allowed to murder whoever the Pope says is fineJesus would spit on you and throw you out a window
>>25001672Because they are ultimately cowards, if they lived in Nazi Germany, they would have been Nazis.>>25001674Yes, if you aren't Christian you aren't getting saved.
>>25001672Traitor
>>25001680Notice how it says "All the Believer" aka Christians, lmfao
>>25001678Paulist whore of Babylon
>>25001681Oh, but you don't believe. You curse them all who deny your masters and your sadism.
>>25001682>PaulistYou mean the guy who refused to let in non-Christians and got executed and became Saint Paul, Guard of Heaven?LMFAO
>>25001680>>25001682Notice who they try to use your religion as a shield for their genocide against you but when people of the faith speak up they actually have no argument and all they can do is appeal to emotion.
>>25001690>all they can do is appeal to emotion.What emotion? That era is done, I had some Russian bitch claim I was a Nazi for calling her a bad person for digging up the remains of Nazis as trophies and nothing happened because any normal person would let the dead rest, Nazi or not. She got fired though, lol.
>>25001687The jew who rewrote and threw away most of the Christian's books, especially those that went out of their way to explain the Old Testies. But you don't know about any of that. Too bad.
>>25001712Weird you would bring up Jews about this, but maybe the anti-semetic claims were correct.
>>25001701>Nazi lover got called a naziAnd that fun fact Nazi LARPers don't hear enough of.Hitler's father was an illegitimate son of Rothschild. This is why London and NY banks funded the rise of the third reich. They wanted him to snuff out socialists in the lower classes. He befriended the Zionists early on. When things got racially tense, he let the wealthy Jews sell their properties and leave. The poors got the ghettos and the gas some time later. But the job was to topple the USSR
>>25001713I'm anti-Zionist. Anti-Sabbatean. Anti-capitalism and anti-statism.But I don't really identify with negatives.
>>25001727Digging up remains, regardless of who they are is and should be illegal, bitch got what she deserved. If that makes me a Nazi, then I'm a Nazi. What now degenerate, retard faggot?
>>25001734So you're anti-semetic, weird you would use a jew to hide behind...
>>25001738Just a fun fact about the Spanish revolution.The catholics dug up their recently departed and posed next to them, claiming that anarchists did this to get the sanctimonious shits mad. The lie continues to this day
>>25001727>>25001734>Would be a Nazi in Nazi GermanyI love being right...
>>25001742>anti-semetic,You realize that the majority of semites are muslim? You are repeating Zionist propaganda
>>25001743Spain is basically the 3rd world, I don't see what this has to do with the argument. Also notice how the only one doing modern day robbing are leftists, yet you have to go almost 100 years back to find right wing grave-robbing you retard.
>>25001744ESL, I would be an anarchist in whatever time or place.
>>25001746Muslims aren't Semites unless they convert to Christianity. It's weird you use religious arguments but know nothing about them.
>>25001749>anarchistYou mean Nazi with a new name, have you seen the Anti-FA movements logo? Its 100% fascist. Same color scheme, same iconography. It's just Nazism with brand appeal.
>>25001750Because he doesn't understand them, just that they worked in the past and he could effectively hide behind them. Yet when he was asked if Romans or Jews rightfully own Israel he can't answer it and the pitiful example from the Bible he gave as defense was a Roman Legionnaire who was also Hebrew.
>>25001746>You realize that the majority of semites are muslim?Liberal definition flip in action to avoid, once again, answering for their own ideologies position.
>>25001772I love how they rely on these rhetorical tricks so much that you can just call them out as they happened.>use semetic in the spiritual sense>"erm... actually the scientific definition...">jesus is brought up>"erm... you should forgive everyone and surrender your home because he did."
>>25001780My favorite one is the "I don't know what you're talking about" after appealing to Jesus or another idea that they are trying to hide behind.
>>25001747These retards will take events that happen 100+ years ago to justify their awful actions now as "recompense". This won't end until these people are so utterly wiped and/or destroyed to the point that they never try this shit again. They are running on borrowed time.
>>25001772>>25001780>>25001750Muslims are Semitic. You are doubling down on Zionist propaganda. Semitism isn't a religion, you idiot. >>25001755>He's pretending to not know what an anarchist is>He thinks the CIA agents posing as ANTIFA are anarchist
>>25001807>Muslims are Semiticin langauge, yes.in religion, no.
>>25001807>>He thinks the CIA agents posing as ANTIFA are anarchistNo, I think the European citizens that are anarchists are anarchists, moron.

Question for you two papists.What day do you go to church?
>>25001859They will of course answer on the first day of the week. The day the lord created the earth, not on the seventh day, the sabbath.They observe Constantine's deity on this day. Helios' day, Sunday.
>>24999057Being hispanic would make him too sympathetic, and the readers would purely interpret it as brown latinx love and internalized oppression, rather than a transgressive exploration of love on the borders of politics.
>>24997134You are a golden horseshoe, my friend.
>>25001604neither yarvin nor land are monarchists or feudalists. they're both neocameralists. you're an illiterate moron who outsources his opinions to youtube.
>>25002329Last I heard Yarvin predicts a sort of fiefdom mini-states, techno feudalism. It will lead to monarchism if the techbros get their way. It is what Gibson warns of in those cyberpunk dystopians. Not knowing these goon's exact ideas does not make me "illiterate". You not knowing this makes you look ESL. >Outsourced opinionsWalter seems to be a UK Marxist of sorts (Like Simon Pegg?). I am a bit farther left. Finding like minded people online is nice. You should go back to /pol/ and hang with your kind. Might get the same kind of glow.
